Is it appropriate to invite this new woman out on Valentine's Day or should that be reserved for couples?

Question - (30 January 2012) 4 Answers - (Newest, 31 January 2012)
A male United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Long story short, I've known this girl for about a month. In that time, we've seen each other nearly every weekend when we go out with our mutual friends. I get the vibe that she likes me, and I think I'm starting to reciprocate those feelings. Its nice to be able to open up again after my last relationship.

We haven't spent much time alone together, save one time we were the only two who stayed at the bars after all our other friends decided to leave. During that time we really hit it off; it wasn't awkward at all and I could tell she really wanted to stay, even though we didn't know each other that well and were all alone.

So, Valentine's Day is approaching. Do I ask her if she'd like to do something on this day, or is this a holiday reserved exclusively for couples? Would it be weird or "too soon"?

PerhapsNot agony auntWhy not? I don't think many women would think to themselves: Oh no, he's asked me out on V-Day! He's moving too fast! Most single people get jealous of couples on V-Day and hate on the day because they have no one. Ask her out and enjoy the day of romance!

I would invite her to do something, but I would keep it low key...take her somewhere with fewer people so you're not in a space where she or you feel like have to perform.

And if what you say is true, she is probably hoping that you do something to mark the day.

Good luck.

I say go for it! If you get the feeling that she's into you then by all means ask her to do something on Valentines Day :)Say something like "I was just wondering if you would be interested in doing something with me on Valentines Day?" Tell her there's no pressure, and that you thought it would be nice to spend that day with her instead of spending it alone. Or if you think Valentines day is too weird for a first date, then just ask her the following weekend:)

Honeypie agony auntI can see both the pro and the con of doing this.

On the pro, it would be sweet to have Valentine's Day as your "first" real date. Makes the whole V-day worthwhile.

On the other hand it can also be taking as trying to be too serious too soon.

I think if you plan a sweet and slightly casual date you should be fine.
